CHAPTER 28

Iwas surrounded by black night sky, stars, and Diego. The air was crisp, becoming downright frigid the higher we went. I wasn’t cold, though. Diego’s magic wrapped around me like an inferno. And I didn’t want it to ever stop.

He flew higher and higher. I had started out in my titanium form, but when I realized it would weigh Diego down, I turned back to regular skin. Besides, I wanted to feel the cold air on my face and Diego’s heat pressed against me.

Below us, the city lights twinkled like tiny fireflies. Above me, the sky opened up in an endless expanse of stars and wispy clouds.

The wind stopped rushing past my ears, and I realized we were hovering in mid-air.

“Are you afraid?” Diego’s low voice rumbled against my skin as he pressed his lips to my neck.

“No.” I laughed.

“Do you trust me?”

That was a harder question to answer. “I trust you not to drop me,” I said finally.

Diego chuckled.

I squeaked when he spun me around. I had a moment of weightlessness before his arms locked across my chest. Now, I was facing outward instead of looking over Diego’s shoulder. It felt like I was the one who was flying. There was nothing in front of me except sky.

“So,” I managed, a little breathless from the rush of flying and the male heat at my back. “This is how you get all the girls.”

“I don’t take people flying,” Diego replied.

“What am I, a duck?”

“Trouble, cariño.” He let go with one hand to tuck my hair into my collar. “A whole lotta trouble.”

I tipped my head to the side, giving him more access to kiss my neck.

“Ready?” he asked.

“Ready for what?”

I turned in time to see Diego’s devilish grin, and then we were plummeting back down.

I shrieked, which turned into a whoop that was stolen by the wind. We were flying so fast tears streamed from my eyes and my stomach was left somewhere above. It was awesome.

The city lights below came into focus, and then we were slowing. Disappointment pulsed through me at the thought that Diego was taking me home. Instead, he settled me on top of the John Hancock Tower…the same rooftop he’d brought me to on Halloween night.

“You’re not planning to strand me here again, are you?” I asked as our feet hit the top of the building.

Diego chuckled. “No. I thought this would be a good place to watch the sunrise.”

We sat at the edge of the roof, our legs dangling over. Diego draped the blanket he’d brought from my room over both of our shoulders. We sat with our sides touching as the sky began to turn from black to a hazy blue-gray color.

Diego pulled a pack of cinnamon gum out of his pocket.

“What’s with the cinnamon?” I asked.

“I like it hot,” he replied, holding my gaze as he put a piece of gum in his mouth in an exaggeratedly sensual move.

I laughed, shaking my head.

“What do you call your flying magic?” I asked.

“Levitator,” he replied.
